Rekindled! The fruits of my labor came..

noreply@blogger.com (Digging For Bucks) — Thu, 22 May 2008 23:22:00 +0800

My gosh! It has been nearly 7 months since I deserted this blog. And to think that I would ever be back again. What changed my mind? What was the reason I left in the first place?

Back in Oct 2007, Google AdSense banned me for violating their policies (which I don't know why). I appealed via email, but the appeal was rejected. At the same time, Bux.to did not pay me after around 2 weeks. The number of PlanetPulse surveys were dwindling by the days. It suddenly dawned upon me that the online money making adventure was after all, just a myth.

A week ago, I was bored and decided to check out whether my PayPal account was still alive and kicking. To my surprise, it was not "empty"! PlanetPulse sent me a US$26 payment (converted from my 2600 Pulses).

And to make my day even better, AlertPay sent an email to my PayPal address saying that Bux.to has paid me US$10! (This was because bux.to removed PayPal as their payment processor and switched to AlertPay). I was pleasantly surprised that 7 months after I gave up, I tasted the fruits of my labor!

Now, having the belief that it is still possible to realise my online money making dream, I shall start exploring more programs so that you readers out there can benefit! Who knows, one fine day, you might get a pleasant surprise just like me! :)

IM-Myth - A limited period opportunity!

noreply@blogger.com (Digging For Bucks) — Sat, 6 Oct 2007 01:06:00 +0800

I came across this IM-Myth as something that has spread across many PTC sites. As usual, who bothers to read the sites that they clicked? However, this one caught my attention.. with this line that says..

"..we'll also send you $1 for everyone you refer to this report!.."

This is the line that caught my attention. I was thinking, if the report was free, how can he sustain the distribution to the internet population which boast millions or billions or surfers each day? Then I saw the catch: This opportunity last for few days only. Then I think about it, paced up and down the room, and decided that this could be a viable opportunity. Afterall, what's the cost of trying? Nothing. Perhaps a few hours of your time trying to refer to friends over MSN or Email?

Therefore what are you waiting for? Do some referring work for the next few days and see if you can grab some bucks over the weekend!

1. Earn $1 for each person you refer
2. Earn $0.50 for each person your referral refers

Just try to hit this target. Refer 10 people yourself. And encourage them to refer 10 too. How much will you earn? $60! Need I say more?

Such lucrative payout rates are hard to come by, especially for something that cost you nothing.
There is no time to lose as this is a limited period opportunity!

Sign up here for a free account now! Start referring your friends! :)

Clixncash - Proof of Payments

noreply@blogger.com (Digging For Bucks) — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:06:00 +0800

This is one of the best paying paid-to-click sites so far. It pays regularly, and there is a constant supply of ads. While high-paying sites pay a generous 1c per ad, you tend to wonder whether they are scam or legitimate program. But let me re-iterate this fact again: Clixncash is a LEGITIMATE program.

In just 1 month without any referral, I have made and been paid approximately US$1.20. Not too bad considering the fact I only do this while I am MSNing with my friends? :)

Bidvertiser - Substitute for Google Adsense

noreply@blogger.com (Digging For Bucks) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 00:24:00 +0800

Google Adsense has rejected my appeal despite the fact that there wasn't any foul play. While I search high and low for the next advertiser to replace Adsense, I came across Bidvertiser.

Bidvertiser is a Pay-Per-Click Ad company, similar to Adsense. The ads design are almost identical to Adsense and it fits easily into my template with just a simple change in the code.

Bidvertiser may not have as wide range of Ads available as Adsense. However, the Ads are generally related to the topic of your blog, which you predetermined during registration.

Good features of Bidvertisers

1. Allows filtering of Ads. You get to reject/approve certain Ads showing up on your blog. This ensures higher chances of click from visitors as you approve the highly relevant Ads to be shown on your blog.

2. Minimum payout is 10 dollars via PayPal. Google Adsense is currently paying via check with a minimum payout of 100 dollars. This makes it more attractive for blogs which are still in the starting out phase.

Blog Marketing Strategics to Boost Traffic!

noreply@blogger.com (Digging For Bucks) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 01:21:00 +0800

Being a newbie in the blogosphere, I need to do research from top blogs such as John Chow or GatherSuccess to find out what are the ways to boost traffic. Although my results ain't impressive, I do see improvement in the amount of traffic to my blog after implementing the 4 strategies which I will talk about later. I believe that consistent effort in practising these strategies will pay off eventually.

Now the selection of 4 strategies from tonnes of techniques found during my research, which I believe will help beginners like me.

Beginners' 4 Blog Marketing Strategies to Boost Traffic

1. Leave comments on high traffic blogs

Visit relevant blogs that share the same niche as yours. Leave your comments on posts that interest you. Be sincere and not post comments like "visit my blog at..." Visitors who find your comments helpful and interesting may click on your name and there you go! A visitor to your blog!

2. Join social networking programs

Earlier in my post, I mentioned about MyBlogLog [Review about MyBlogLog]. Till today, I have not stopped networking at MBL. It really brings traffic, especially when you have joined many communities of similar niche and made friends with many others who share the same interest. You can add them as contacts, just like friendster and mingle with them through the messaging system. Once again, be sincere in making friends.

3. Participate in community forums

In forums, you have a signature where you can create link to your blog. Being active in forums will increase the exposure of your signature to more forumers, which increase the traffic (or rather, chances of visit). Be professional in your posts and establish a guru status in the particular field or niche in the forum. This will lead to targeted and relevant traffic for your blog.

4. Social bookmarking

Bookmark your posts to high traffic bookmarking sites like Digg.com or Technorati and it will expose your post to many millions of visitors. If your post/article is interesting, visitors will visit your blog to read the post! Another way of doing this is to add social bookmarking links for people to bookmark your post. In this way, they help you gain exposure for your post! (See below for the Digg or Technorati links for example)

All the strategies above are free and easy to implement. Perhaps after I cashout some of the money from my other online ventures, I will experiment with paid advertising strategies and review them for all readers here.

Disastrous Blogging Journey

noreply@blogger.com (Digging For Bucks) — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:34:00 +0800

After giving an excellent and outstanding presentation on corporate blogging in class today, a major problem regarding my own personal blog surfaced.

GOOGLE ADSENSE SUSPENDED MY ACCOUNT.

Reason was relation to a past account which was blacklisted. Feeling dismayed, I filed an appeal to Google Adsense. This blogtreprenuer journey is indeed an arduous one. Now I understand why it really takes perseverance and great effort in sustaining the enthusiasm in profitable blogging. The initial phase is full of problems yet lacking in rewards.

What can I do now? Wait and continue with the maintenance of this blog? Hopefully Google Adsense will approve of my appeal this time and reinstate the program on this blog. Otherwise, no further appeals will be reviewed and there goes one of the most prominent source of revenue used by bloggers

What can be more frustrating than having even your small dollars forfeited after 3 weeks of tough work?
